Characterization of the hydrogels revealed excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, injectability and self-healing properties. Furthermore, the wound healing property of the hydrogels was investigated in vivo using zebrafish as a model system. Indirect application of Am-尾-Chn/ADA hydrogel remarkably ...
MIT engineers have created a soft, conductive polymer hydrogel that could serve as a biocompatible, metal-free implantable electrode. The material, which can be made into printable ink, might be used in a variety of medical applications, such as pacemakers and deep-brain stimulators. ...
Hydrogel‐based strain sensors have attracted considerable interest for applications such as skin﹍ike electronics for human motion detection, soft robotics, and human–machine interfaces. However, fabrication of hydrogel strain sensors with desirable mechanical and piezoresistive properties is still ...
The molecular structures of the sequential intermediates for PEG-SP hydrogel preparation were verified by (1)HNMR and FT-IR. The mechanical property, swelling ratio, compression strength, surface hydrophilicity, and biocompatibility of the resulting hydrogel were characterized. Since spiropyran is pivotal...
An injectable photopolymerized hydrogel with antimicrobial and biocompatible properties for infected skin regenerationCurrently, wound infection is an important health problem for the public. Wound infection can not only hinder healing but it can also lead to serious complications. Injectable wound dressings...
and mechanical properties (i.e., stress and strain at break, Young’s modulus, and toughness) of the corresponding hydrogels were investigated by performing rheological and tensile tests. These effects were also explained by the expected network structures of the hydrogel. Moreover, the morphology,...
combine the electrical properties of intrinsically conductive elements, with highly hydrated, and biocompatible hydrogel networks1. Due to the responsiveness of several tissues to electrical stimulation, the use of ECHs and conductive polymers has been explored for various biomedical applications, such as ...
An average-strength hydrogel is very close to articular cartilage in all mechanical characteristics. The degrees of loading at the highest compression deformations observed during the function of joint cartilage (30-50%) is in the range 4-12 MPa for this hydrogel, and the average values of the...
To the best of our knowl- edge, such unique green and red fluorescence of BSA (or HSA) hydrogel has not been reported in literature. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the as-prepared autofluorescent hydrogel were extensively investigated through UV-vis spectra and the fluorescence ...
38. The method according to claim 37, wherein said heating of urea is without agitation or stirring. 39. The method according to claim 22, wherein said mineral deposited into and on the surface of the hydrogel is a calcium phosphate. ...
